Manoj, There are several effective ways to manage this type of load management and has been field tested and are in being utilised in Nepal. There is a simpler method of using commercially available MCB, electronic current cut-out (Nepalese version using Triac, the type developed by Dr Nigel Smith). PTC has been used together with fuse for wattage less than 100W. Many of these solutions are already available in Nepal, expertise using these devices are in Kathmandu and Butwal. If you need contacts please let me know. There was an article published in this topic on one of issue in 2001 "JalaShakti" (water-power) published by Nepal Micro-hydropower Development Association([EMAIL PROTECTED])

One problem would be the PFC of the load and by what you imply, it seems that the load is going to be lighting and probably fluorescent lamps that should not have magnetics but electronic ballasts, also, they may not have a good PFC, just crest PFC -- please enlighten us about the lighting you may plan to implement there. Also what other loads are going to be added ( like a battery charge controller to have additional available power during the dark times ). Why don't you contact me directly -- to discuss your needs and the possible solutions Regards Nando ----- Original Message ----- From: "MANOJ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 04, 2004 11:14 PM Subject: [microhydro] suggestions required > Dear all, > I'd like to know about the cheap method to trip the > current at required value...elaborating little bit > detail,a community based micro hydro power plant of > capacity 18 kW is going to be installed in the > far-flung sector of Nepal....there are 180 > beneficiaries' households....each household can not > consume more than 100 watt.. i'd like to know about > the provisions and instruments to control the current > at exact value so that a household can not consume > more than 100 watts.
